Two followers of Confucius yesterday
afternoon became engaged in dispute
near the Sixth-street baseball grounds,
which they proceeded to settle ac cord

both feather-weights, both game, and
both possessed of choice collection of
expletives in their own language. There
was no timekeeper nor umpire, but they
got along very well without these au-

The Professor.

Professor Savariej's latest is an etching
by that accomplished artist representing
q mountain canon. Grotesque looking
figures perch in impossible attitudes in
inaccessible places and there is dash of
wild imagery about it which betokens
the wild realms of fancy into which the
professor can soar. He takes great de-
light in his production and exhibited it
yesterday to wondering bystanders with

An army Of workmen is still engaged

Yesterday an offer of $4,000 was

The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1887-03-12

The Catholic Columbian's "Colum-
biads," are an attractive feature of that
paper. Here is one of them: Ambi-
ton! Fool, thou knowest not what
thou seekest! Couldst thou realize the
lengthening years, the weary struggles,
the countless obstacles that will bestrew
thy path, thou wouldst first satisfy thy
self that thy aim were worthy of the
sacrifices thon must make, and the la
bors thou must undergo to attain it.
Ask him whose sun has long passed the
meridian, and on whom the attractions
of life have ceased to operate with their
early destinations, what glory he has
built up from his struggles; and what
will he answer thee I? "Son, life opened
to me in it's spring time with all its
joys and pleasures and entertainments.
Lured by the deceitful glare around me,
I sought for greater and more resplen-
dent possessions; fancy wrought out
for me gorgeous, airy temple and I
strained every nerve to reach it. But,
In vain! These palsied hands, these
sightless orbs, this throbbing breast,
this still Unsuitable yearning-wrecks Of
a wasted life-only remind me of my
frenzy, and constitute the sum of what
1 have obtained. What were glory to
me now, who has only pains and aches
and sad memories for his portion?''

HIQKS-REAOH RESIGNS.

Another rat has deserted the ship,
and Skipper Salisbury is disconsolate,
indeed. lie knows that it presages a
disastrous storm for the rotten old ship.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach has resigned
the Chief Secretaryship for Ireland. 1t
is stated that the poor man has a cata-
ract on the eye, which will, if not
properly attended to, result in total
blindness. We do not wish to be UNI
derstood as making light OF any mans
infrmities, but we might be permitted
to remark that it has been no secret for
some time that every member Of the
Tory Cabinet is troubled in the same
way. and some of them are already
hopelessly blind-at least in SO far as
the solution of the Irish problem IS con-
cerned. Sir Michael will proceed to the
continent for medical treatment, and it
is great pity that he does not intend
to take the whole Tory party with him.
Possibly they are incurable!
The Chief Secretaryship for Ireland

under any conditions. if we accept as
evidence the number of times the Office
has been vacated during the past five or
six years. During that time, if we re-

The Boston Pilot contains the fol-
lowing pathetic paragraph concerning
the death of the mother of Father Fu'-
ton: ''After Father Fulton, S. j., Pro-
vincial of the Jesuits in the New York
and Maryland Province, set out to visit
the houses of the Order in Ireland, his
venerable mother, nun in the Vista
ton Monastery in Georgetown, d. c.,
often expressed her conviction that they
would not meet again on earth. Her
pres ntiment was verified. She died
rather suddenly on February q, aged
80 years, 40 of which she had spent in
religion. Mrs. Fulton was of Irish de-
scent, a woman of remarkable gifts.
Left widow while still quite young,
she devoted herself to the education of
her.son and to works OF piety and char
ity. She had especially at heart the

THE LONDON TIMES SPLEEN.

If the great English paper-the Lon
don Tlmes-imagines that vindictive
lies and yituperation are going to pre-
vent Ireland from securing national
government, it is greatly mistaken.
The time has now arrived when traduc-
ing the characters of honorable men will
no longer act as a blind to the masses
of Great Britain, and the attempt to
defame the good names of such men as
MIR. Parnell, Mr.. Sexton, Mr.. Dillon,
aid other prominent Irish Nationalist
will be of no avail. The die is cast, and
and Irishmen must have their national
aspirations gratified or know the rea-
son why they are not.
The ''Ihunderer" recently began the
publication of a series of articles en-
titled, "Parnellism and Crime" In
these articles the leaders Of the League
are denounced as having intimate, no.
torious and continuous relations with
avowed murderers. Calumny and vitu-
peration pervades the entire attack.
One passage reads thus:
s'The National League movement is
based upon scheme of assassination
carefully calculated and coolly applied.
Murders provide their funds murder
ers share their inmost councils; MUIR
derers have gone forth from League Of
fees and set their bloody work afoot. y
The Times and the cause it advocates
must evidently be. reduced to great
\ straits when it will bow so low as to
make such charge against men of
honor and integrity, like Charles Stew
art Parnell and his colleagues, and an
organization that has never on any oc-
s casiOn sanctioned lawlessness. What a
contrast there is between the constitu-
5sttional means adopted by the National
list party to obtain their ends and the
s9actio nSof the Toriesin attempting to Sc
Z cure the conviction of Messrs. Dillon.

If it were not for the oft-repeated re-
minders from the Prince Of Wales we
fear Victoria's subjects might amble
through 1877 oblivious of the fact that
this IS her jubilee year. From the
present look of things one would natu-
rally be led to the belief that the we'll
fed and overpaid English officials will
have to pay for about all the enthusiasm
of the celebration. The time has gone
by when the British masses can be
caught with chaff.

MORE TROUBLE FOR ENGLAND. !.

No matter in what direction the
British people cast their eyes they see
nothing but discomfort and disunion.
They can blame their own Government
for all their trouble. The latest diff
Guilty has arisen in Newfoundland. The
people there are in astarving condition.
The Legislature (now in SESSION. Of that
colonial possession has issued an address
that can only be interpreted as mean
ing one thing-that is, desire to Sc
cede.
The Newfoundlanders tell the Impe.
rial Government they own the fisheries,
and they do not propose to pay the
slightest heed to French OF American
interests, or to brook any interference
from the Imperial Government The
situation is so serious that both Premier
Thorburn and Sir Ambrose Shea, leader
of the opposition, have left the Legisla-
ture to take care of itself and gone to
London to represent the dangerous
character of the prevailing feeling in
Newfoundland.
Meanwhile the press and people are
universally discussing the benefits of
annexation to the United States. Any
thing would be better than the present
state of affairs. and if annexation were
submitted to popular vote it would be
carried by a three-fourths majority.
Newfoundland finds itself between the
devil and the deep blue sea. On one
hand it is driven out Of the European
markets by French rivals, who receive
bounties from the French Government
equal to sixty per cent, and they are
compelled by the English Government
to supply their French rivals with bait.
On the other hand, they are at the
mercy Of Americans, for, strange as it
may seem, the treaty Of 1878 is null and
void as far as that colony is concerned,
and every denial of commercial priv.
leges to American vessels last wear had
not even the authority of that anti
quated treaty for an excuse. Hence the
necessity of the bait bill, which is de-
MED them by England. Truly Great
Britain's influence and power is on the
Wane.

A DUBLIN telegram conveys the gist
of letter written to the papers of that
city by Archbishop Croke in de-
Tense of his position on the
Irish question. He says he has pro-
posed nothing. nor has he made any
recommendation relative to taxes. He
has simply expressed an opinion con-
corning the relative value of a no tax
manifesto He stated that it meyer en-
tered his head to recommend general
uprising against the payment of taxes.
He would trust alone to constitutional
agitation for the restoration of the ma
tional rights in Ireland. Under existing
conditions only knave or fool, he de-
clares, would trust otherwise. 1t is for
expressing himself in this manner that
men of the De Lis]e stamp would have
the venerated Archbishop indicted for
high treason.

MIR. GLADsTONE's article in the cur
rent number of the Nineteenth Gen.
fury" is one of the strongest that has
emanated from the pen of that great
statesman for a number of years. In
speaking of american aid for Ireland"
he says: The present American con-
tributions have the countenance of
the American opinion, and the aid of
Americans of high station and charac-
ter, free from the bias of Irish extrac-
ton. Can we object justly to their &C.
ton? Why should they be ashamed of
it, or why should we resent it? If ever
one country may subscribe for the pur-
poses, the peaceful purposes, of an
other, it is when rich country and
kindred country subscribes for poor
country, and for the poorest though far
the largest portion of it's people. 1t is
when America has enjoyed means of
judgment in some respects even SUI
perior to ours, for she has known and
seen better than we do the fruit of our
treatment of the Irish nation on this
side the Atlantic, IN the views and feel
ings of the Irish nation on the other side
the Atlantic. May there not seem to
be, in the cutlery against present Amer
lean subscriptions, even some faint of
ingratitude? When and how did they
begin? They began, Ibelieve, certainly
they began to attract notice in and af-s
ter the famine of 1s47. They were di-
rected to three ends; and what ends {?
First, towards saving the people from
death by famine; secondly. towards
saving the people from eviction and
thirdly, they went TO carrying forward
a gigantic work Of emigration, a mourn
full remedy indeed for a people who IN
tensely love their soil.

DEATH OF HENRY WARD BEE0HER

Henry Ward Beecher died at his resi-
dence in Brooklyn last Tuesday morn
ing. By his death America, or rather
the world, loses a great orator. Asa
profound thinker and cogent debater
Mr.. Beech I has had few equals during
the present century. The American
people, regardless of sect or religious
views, will lament his death. Mr..
Beecher may nave held erroneous views
and committed mistakes during his So
journ on earth, but now is not the time
to discuss such things. Everything
should be forgotten at the grave of him
whose life will always fill a conspicuous
and honorable page in the history Of
the United States. At tho time of his
death he had more than completed the
allotted days Of man-being % years Of
age.
